OFFICE AND LOBBY 



%\)t Baltimore ^otel 



FROM a small and comparativ^ely obscure 
city, only a score of years ago, Kansas 
City has forged her way to the very 
front of the cities of America. Her wonder- 
ful strides in a business way and her importance 
as a railway and jobbing center have been quite 




The Landing of Lord Baltimore 
(Allegorical Painting Over Office) 

generally heralded for a number of years. 
But wonderful as has been the growth of her 
jobbing and wholesale interests, even more 
noticeable has been the evolution of her fine 
homes and boulevards and business blocks. 
Office and business buildings that compare 
favorably with those of any city in the United 
States have been erected in the last few years. 

Commensurate in every way with the 
growth and development of Kansas City has 
been the growth of the Baltimore Hotel. For 
many years a hotel of but little over 300 rooms, 
the excellence of her service and the general 
high character of her cuisine and furnishings 
had caused her to be well and favorably known 
from coast to coast. As she now stands, more 
than double her original size, impressive of 
design, rich and magnificent in appointments, 
every department numbering all that is modern 
in equipment, she takes rank among the very 
best and most beautiful hotels in America. 

This beautiful structure was erected by Mr. 
Bernard Corrigan in conjunction with the 
Corrigan estate, on the accepted plans and 
largely from the suggestions of Messrs. Dean 



Brothers and was designed in detail by Mr. 
Louis Curtiss, an architect of international 
repute. The building fronts on Eleventh street, 
Baltimore avenue and Twelfth street, while its 
remaining side gains light and ventilation from 
an extremely wide alley which parallels Main 
street, thus constituting a building an entire 
block long and one-half city b'lock wide, 
having splendid light on the four sides. 

The building comprises eleven stories and 
basement. The portion of the basement front- 
ing on Eleventh street and embracing one-half 
the area is devoted to the Rathskeller, the 
main buffet and grill while the remaining 
basement area, equalling one-quarter of an 
entire city block, is given over to the purposes 
of the principal kitchen, refrigerating plant, 
lighting, heating and ventilating systems, 
together with the vacuum and plenum systems. 
Here also is located the apparatus for the 
combustion of refuse, and in fact all other 
mechanical adjuncts necessary in the scientific 
construction in modern hotel economics. 




Lord Calvert Making a Treaty With the Indians 
(Allegorical Painting Over Office) 

The main entrance of the hotel is placed 
beneath a massive and ornate metal canopy on 
Twelfth street, which develops into the 
splendid main corridor which is eighteen feet 
wide and two hundred seventy feet long and 
which terminates at the rotunda at Eleventh 
street. This corridor is treated as a continuous 
portico with colonnades on either side in \'erde 




Twelfth Strekt Entrance 

African marble witli gilded capitals and bases 
in bronze. Between these columns the side 
walls are treated in \erde Antique metal 
screens with filling of plate glass, and is 
further enriched with a wainscot of Pavanazo 
marble, while the ceiling is enriched with 
carving and decorated in gold and soft har- 
monious stone. This magnificent promenade 
making a veritable vista in its length anil vary- 
ing perspective is not surpassed by any interior 
walk-way in America. The whole interior 
was especially planned not only for the utility 
and comfort of the guests, but always with a 
view of artistic excellence throughout. The 
scheme of decoration and furnishing is 
elegant in the extreme. The many rooms 
throughout the building echo the sentiment 
of the true artist. 

A distinct feature of the Baltimore is the 
excellent elevator service, the building being 
equipped with the latest type of tandem worm 
gear drum electric elevators, which are 
especially designed for hotel service. Each 
of the Baltimore cars is equipped with a 
patented safety device, the use of which is a 
positive assurance against accidents from the 
falling of elevator cars. 

The plumbing system follows the most 
advanced practice in sanitary science. The 



fixtures were especially designed for the build- 
ing. The kitchen has a complete service of its 
its own. The Paul \'acuum System is in use 
and regulated by the latest thermostatic inven- 
tion. Another special feature is tlie installation 
of an ice plant supplying approximately 8,000 
cubic feet of cold storage space located at 
various points of the building. This splendid 
machine has a capacity each twenty-four hours 
equivalent to melting twenty-five tons of ice_ 
It is of the ammonia compression type and the 
principal parts of the system consist of a 
twenty-five ton horizontal, double acting am- 
monia compressor, driven by a Corliss engine. 
The temperature of any refrigerator can be 
maintained constantly as low as 32° F. or at 
any higher temperature desired. Nothing so 
perfectly assures wholesomeness of food 
product as perfect refrigeration, and this, in 
the Baltimore Hotel, has been reduced to 
perfection. 

It is only in recent years that artistic de- 
velopment in the I nited States has induced 
the builders of large public buildings, and 
especially hotels, to consult with the artist 
and decorator in producing interior effects that 
conform to the refined taste of the largely 
traveled American people of this epoch. We 
are rapidly gaining the reputation of being

true globe trotters, which is a distinction only 
the English heretofore have possessed. At this 
time, however, with the immense progress the 
country has made in wealth and in culture, 
Americans have seen and do see the very best 
examples of all that is beautiful in Europe, 
and they now come back expecting to have 
their cultivated taste gratified in their own 
buildings. This demand has enabled the 
architect, the artist and the decorator to fa- 
miliarize himself with all that is the very best 
in interior decoration throughout the world, 
and has enabled them to readapt to America 
all that is splendid and thus gratify this 
growing taste for luxury and culture of 
surrounding. All of this has been done very 
successfully in the new Baltimore Hotel. The 
many handsome rooms which are carried out 
in period decoration, architecture and design 
bear witness to this fact. The main dining 
room, a room noble in its proportions and 
height, and notable indeed in its richness of 
marbles, mosaries and decoration which 
constitute its walls, is a beautiful creation of 
the Renaissance Period. The scheme here 
worked out is entirely of white Italian marble 
and Caen Stone. Rising from the mosaic floor 
are eight monolythic columns 30 feet high of 
statuary marble which form the support of 
a hexagonal dome rising yet 25 feet higher in 



Caen stone, beautifully enriched by mosiacs 
and the whole surrounded by a mezzanine 
floor looking into the main area of the dining 
room. This mezzanine is surmounted by a 
massive perforated parapet in statuary marble. 
A music mezzanine, handsomely executed in 
Pavanazzo marble projects from the north 
wall forming a motive at once striking and 
unique. The illumination of this room is 
eff^ected by massive bronze cathedral cande- 
labras in monumental style and in strict 
harmony with the columns which they ad- 
join, while the eye of the dome is terminated 
by a brilliant sunburst in bronze containing 
six hundred lamps. These lighting features 
are the acme of regal elegance, exquisite in 
every detail and represent an expenditure of 
many thousands of dollars. The principal 
color scheme of this room is in white, old rose 
and gold. Across the corridor to the left of 
the main dining room is the Automobile 
Room, a very unique and original conception 
in the way of decoration and arrangement. 
This room is entirely in green and ivory, 
while the furniture is of Circassian walnut. 
Beautiful pendant lamps suspended from the 
ceiling give an individual effect and character 
to this room, which is highly artistic. On the 
frieze is a representation of automobile sports, 
carried out in poster-like effects; the con-

ceptiiMi of tlic Lirtist in tlepictinu; tlie joys of 
automobile life is cleverly arranged in these 
iiiural paintings, ami the conventional art 
glass windows in this room represent a tree 
effect, giving one the impression of outdoor 
life which is so dear to the heart of all lovers 
of the automobile. Oft" from the main cor- 
ridor again, as \ou walk along on the right is 
the P>gyptian Room, it is used as a cafe ami is 
designed to carr\ the tliner back to the 
Egyptian period ; the entire ilesign and dec- 
orative scheme is carried out in the hgyptiaii 
.style and in a most unique way. Ihere are 
Egyptian columns, pilasters, vases, all richly 
carved with the hieroglyphics of ancient 
Egypt. I'he hieroglyphics are in.scribed and 
cut into the walls with tool instruments and 
afterwards picked out in color by the artists. 
The fixtures are purely Egyptian in character, 
and in fact the w hole room depicts so little of 
American effect that it carries one liack xo 
Egypt and creates food for the mind of the 
diner while he is being ministeretl to the 
wants of his inner man. 

Next to this room is the Pompeiian Room, 
one of the finest examples of Pompeiian archi- 
tecture in the United States. Truly does it 
take us back to the time of the Romans, two 
thousand years ago, and we indeed feel, on 
entering this room that we are verilv on the 



threshold of one of tlie noble Roman palaces 
of which we know so little other than that 
which is told us b\ the ruins that are left of 
the R(Mnan \'illas and the fragments of Roman 
architecture which we hml throughout the 
museums of Europe. This room is one of 
the jHirest examples of the Hellenic art as 
exemplified by the excavated remains from 
the varied cities. A majestic vase in statuary 
marble, a replica of a recently discovered frag- 
ment in Herculaneum stands at the further 
end of this room. This vase rests on a pedestal 
rising from a large water basin, the wlude 
forming a fountain of great purity of design 
and grace. The furniture is in exact dupli- 
cation of old Pompeiian pieces and there is no 
attempt whatever at originality in the treat- 
ment of this room other than the fact that the 
artists have confined themseh'es strictly to 
reproducing the effect of a true Pompeiian 
room in every detail. The walls are in red w ith 
elaborate Pompeiian Arabesque ornaments 
trellising the same. The lower part of the 
room, or dado, is in \ erde Antique marble. 
The candelabrum are correct reproductions of 
the old Pompeiian Standards. The floor is of 
marble. The splashing of the limpid waters 
from the handsome Pompeiian fountain per- 
fects this old time scene. The ceiling is richly 
gilded, illuminated and picked out in various

Stones of rich color. Pompeiian ornaments in 
all their gorgeousness practically cover this 
ceiling, making an effect that is superb over 
all. Just to the left of the Pompeiian room 
off the main corridor is the English room. 
This room is designed and furnished in the 
English style of the period of Queen Elizabeth. 
All the furniture, which is elaborately and 
and richly carved, is furniture in duplicate of 
rare old English pieces, and is beautifully cov- 
ered with galoons, tapestry and appliqued gold 
ornaments. The rugs were especially designed 



and made in Europe to tit this room, which 
is primarily used as a rest room, and one cer- 
tainly has a feeling of repose when reclining 
in any of the handsome and comfortable 
pieces of furniture scattered about this palatial 
retreat. Along to the end of the corridor is 
the main lobby or office, the entire decorations 
being in Pavanazzo marble, the ceiling being in 
gray. Above the main counter .on a line with 
The parlor floor, are two large lunettes. 
On these lunettes the decorator and artist has 
reproduced a theme which relates to the nam- 
ing of the hotel. One of the lunettes contains

a beautiful painting of Lord Calvert making 
a treaty with the Indians for the purchase of 
the ground for the building of the city of 
Baltimore after which the Hotel Baltimore is 
named. The other painting represents the 
landing of Lord Baltimore on the site of his 
fair city. These paintings are true works of 
art, and serve in a measure to represent the 
high artistic trend of the American mind in 
the decoration of our modern hotels. 

On the parlor floor, and extending up to 
the third floor of the building, is the Grand 
Banquet Hall, which is considered one of the 
finest rooms that has ever been designed or 
executed in any part of the world. This room 
is carried out strictly in the period of Francis 
the First. As is generally conceded, the Fran- 
cis First period embraces the very highest 
perfection of French architecture and design. 
This room is approximately twenty-four feet 
high, and will seat four hundred banqueters 
at one service. 

Except the frieze, the room is entirely of 
wood, being of curly maple stained to a 
French gray tone. The wainscoting is twelve 
feet high above this is the magnificent mural 
painting of a Medieval Procession, extending 
all around the room. This procession of 
knights and ladies of the Francois Premier 
period represents the character and costume.^ 
of this noble reign — the knights in all 
the armour and regalia of the field and the 



ladies in their handsome, elaborate court cos- 
tumes. The conception of this picture is of 
Mr. Holslag, who is the artist. It is the rep- 
resentation of a fete day during the reign of 
the First Francis. The artist has been emi- 
nently successful in portraying the glamour 
and grandeur of this period. The ceiling is a 
beam effect, with elaborate gold applique orna- 
ments richly embellished and painted on the 
beam. The effect on entering this room is 
one of glittering gorgeousness, which is the 
same effect in the rooms of similar character 
in Europe. The Baltimore Hotel has the dis- 
tinction of possessing the only room of this 
design and careful execution in America, and 
it is pleasing to say that it has been a high 
artistic gratification to every visitor. 

Next to and connecting with the Grand 
Banquet Hall, is the Italian room, which 
represents a pergola or Italian garden, with 
clusters of grapes and vines interwoven and 
suspended from the ceiling in a most artistic 
arrangement. 

There are many other rooms throughout 
this splendid hotel that deserve notice and 
commendation, but the brief space in the 
booklet precludes their extended description. 
It has been the intention to so thoroughly 
illustrate the booklet that a very definite idea 
of the magnificence of this house may be had 
by turning the pages of this little work.

WHEN the great Architect of the 
Universe created the l)eautifiil \'al- 
ley of the Missouri and through it 
traced tlie cliannel of the river of the same 
name, it was fore-orthained that somewhere 
on its fertile l)anks there should he huilded 
a city which would he the great metropolis 
of the Middle West, mighty for its financial, 
commercial and industrial interests and 
nolewortlu' for the love of its ])eo])le for 
home, for country and for fellowmen. The 
fullness of time has witnessed the fruition 
of the ])lan. as such a city has heen Imilded 
here at the confluence of the Missotiri and 
the Kaw. in the ver_\- midst of the garden 
spot of the Sotithwest. 

Some of the causes for the material 
greatness and prosperity of Kansas City are 
her splendid houlevanls and parks, her ])til)- 
lic schools and churches, her s])lendid sup- 
ply of water, her efficient railway facilities, 
her great output of food products and the 
manufacture of everything" that enters into 
the daily consumption of the conmiunit}-. 
An important factor of the solid foundation 
upon which her progress as a city is hased, 
is the development within her limits of a 
home-huilding", home-owning and home-lov- 
ing, puhlic s])irited peojjle. 

The census has disclosed the fact that 
among all the cities of this nation Kansas 
City stands among the first in the percent- 
age of her population who own their own 
homes. It is the multi])licalion of these 
homes wherein Kansas City finds lier loyal 
civic pride and source of strength. 

POPULATION, AREA, PARKS AND 
BOULEVARDS. 

With a ])o])ulation of 415.000 souls. Kan- 
sas City covers an area of S/^.^ square miles, 
and has in that territory 279 miles of paved 
streets, exclusive of houlevards. Kansas 
City's parks and boulevards are possibly the 
greatest asset she has. for they are known 
and admired the world around. It is bevond 



the ])o\ver of the ordinar_\- indix'idual to de- 
scribe these parks and driveways so that 
the\- can be intelligently understood. The 
park and boulevard system comprises over 
2,000 acres of parks, with 70 miles of boule- 
vards; Swope Park alone contains \,3r<4 
acres. The cost of the park and l)oulevard 
system up to A])ril. 1^0'^ is. in round fig- 
ures, nine millions of dollars. 

LOW TAXES. 

Kansas Cit\- is blessed with low taxes: 
the rate of taxation is based on fortv per 
cent of the actual cash value of the propcrtv 
assessed, and averages about one and one- 
quarter ])er cent of this valuation i)er an- 
num. 

RAILROAD CENTER. 

From a railroad standpoint. Kansas Citv 
comes very near lieing the center of the 
countr}-. with railroad connections and fa- 
cilities second to but one other citv in the 
United States, having twentv s\-stems and 
thirty-two lines radiating to all points of 
the compass. As transportation has much 
to do with the commercial supreniac\' of 
any city, so Kansas City is particularly for- 
tttnate in this res])ect. While we thus have 
the best of transportation facilities, we have 
the further advantage of having our prin- 
cipal trade territory close at hand. The 
matter of "a market" is a thing' that a])- 
])eals largely to the wholesale dealer and 
the manufacturer. Draw a line west ex- 
tending from the northern boundary of Mis- 
souri across to the Pacific, and you cut the 
western half of the United States almost 
exactly in two. The population of this 
western half of the country is a little over 
twent}-six millions of people. South of 
that line lies the "Great Southwest," and is 
the territory tributary to Kansas City and 
within which there is no competition from 
anv other great citw and to which Kansas 
Citv serves as a distributing" and manufac- 
turing" base, live twenty of the twenty-six

millions of people. This is Kansas City's 
trade territory (the Southwest Market), 
which is the ^-oungest and most huoyant, 
stront^est, most liheral, most progressive, 
and the fastest growing in ]iroportion to 
an}- t)ther ])art of our common couniry. 

BANK CLEARINGS. 

Periiaps the hest ])ossihle mdex of the 
linaucial condition of any city is its Idear- 
ing" J louse record, (^ne of the i)eculiar 
things which have occurred in this connec- 
tion in recent years has heen th.e claim 
made hy different cities in regard to the 
small decrease in their bank clear.ngs. It 
is fair to claim that Kansas (."ity is the only 
city in the I'nited States of its size and 
standing whose bank clearings have not de- 
creased in the last five years, but have grad- 
ually increased under the enormous volume 
of business transacted here froiu year to 
vear, until she stands sixth in the galaxy 
of cities. Her bank clearings for the year 
1908 were $1,850,000,000. 

MANUFACTURING. 

The time is rapidly ;irriving when Kan- 
sas Citv must be taken into consideration 
as a manufacturing center. She has made 
a remarkable stride in this respect in recent 
years, and during the year just closed the 
extension of the luanufacturing interests 
has continued along healthful and substan- 
tial lines with soiue very important addi- 
tions. With sulTicient capital the manu- 
facturing industries will grow by leaps and 
bonnds. The trade today has expanded 
with the increased volume of business, and 
"Kansas lit}- Made ( loods" are i-iow going 
to the four (juarters of the globe. The ad- 
vantages for distribution of the manufac- 
tured products and the nearness to many 
of the raw materials has drawn the atten- 
tion of the manufacturers from all over the 
countrv. In even figures, the capital in- 
vested in manufacturing industries will i-iow 
exceed thirtv i-nillion dollars, with over 
25,000 employees, who are paid in wages 
ai-iriuallv an amount exceeding fifteen mil- 



lion dollars, and producing an output of 
aboiU sixty million dollars per amium. 

LIVE STOCK AND MEAT PACKING 
INDUSTRIES. 

Kansas Cit}- stands near the top in the 
meat packing industry and live stock in- 
terests; only one other city in the world 
exceeds it in volnme of business. There 
are now eight modern i)acking establish- 
ments located here, with a coi-nbined daily 
cai)acity for the slaughter of If), 000 cattle, 
37,000 hogs, and 17,000 sheep, representing 
an investmei-it of $20,000,000, and an ai-imial 
output valued at $100,000,000, giving em- 
l)lo\-nient to 20,000 persons. 

Kansas City's stock yards have grown 
rapidly and furnish every facility needed to 
handle the increasing business. They cover 
207 acres and contain the most thorough 
and modern stock yards equipment in the 
country. 

Receipts at the stock yards for 1908 
were 142,000 carloads, consisting of 2,500,- 
000 cattle, 4,000,000 hogs, 1,500,000 sheep, 
and 60,000 horses and mules, valued at the 
enormous sum of $150,000,000. 

FLOUR MILLING. 

Karisas City rai-iks second in flour mill- 
ing- cajjacity, [Minneapolis being in the lead. 
In 1''08, the Kansas City mills made over 
two and one-half million barrels of flour, 
with a daily capacity of abont 14,000 bar- 
rels. An abundant supply of good quality 
of wheat, scientificallv n-iilled into flour of 
uniform (|nalit\-, has placed Kansas Cit}''s 
Hour into increased favor each year. 

BUILDING RECORD. 

\\ henever comparisons are being made 
with other cities, it seems as if Kansas City 
almost invariablv falls within the front 
ranks. In the number and value of build- 
ing i)ermits, Kansas City is rapidly going 
to the front. She now stands eighth in the 
list of cities, and during the fiscal year end- 
ing julv, 1''08, over 4,000 ])enuits were is- 
sued, with an estimated co-^t of buildings 
to be over $12,000,000.

NEWSPAPERS. 

Kansas City has the most loyal and at 
the same time lias tlie strongest jM-ess in 
the conniry. 'I'he managers oi the news- 
papers lielieve in their eil\ ami its citizen- 
ship, and they are always advocating the 
hest interests of all the people, and have 
thus luiill up a constituency which is loval 
to the news])ai)ers, and ihis "tie that hinds" 
has heen a great factor in the advancement 
of this section of the cotintrx'. 

STREET CAR FACILITIES. 

Kansas City has the 1)est street car fa- 
cilities for its size of any city in the L'nited 
States, covering- 240 miles of single track. 
A single fare with free transfers carries a 
person the length antl hreatlth of hoth Kan- 
sas Cities, and every niannfacturing plant, 
jobbing and retail house, or hotel in the 
city, can be reached from the I'nion Station 
on a single fare of five cents. 

CITY OF LIGHTS. 

Kansas City is known today as the "City 
of Ligdits." Some of her streets are bril- 
liant in the extreme: after a shower of rain 
in the early evening" the_\' present the 
beauty and sheen of a silvery lake, watery 
pavements reflecting every ligdit many times 
over. (/)ur boulevards surpass everything 
of the kind in the country, beiiig brilliantly 
lighted by many natural gas lights which 
run out in long rows of light as far as the 
eye can see. 

EDUCATIONAL. 

The fame and efticiency of Kansas City's 
public schools are spreading fitrther each 
year, until ttiday graduates from our High 
Schools are accredited to the best L'niversi- 
ties in the United States without examina- 
tion. \\'e have three High Schools for 
whites, one of which is a Manual Training" 
High School. \\'e also have one High 
School for colored children; there are 59 
Ward Schools. The value of the property 
owned by the school districts amounts to 
four and one-half million dollars. Enroll- 
ment of schools in 1''09 is aboitt 35,000; 
number of teachers employed, 900. 



CHURCHES. 

h'rom a religioits standiioint, Kansas 
City is one ot the best fortilietl cities in the 
coimtry. Every I'rotestant denomination, 
almost wilhiuu excei)tion. lias one, and 
some of them as many as twelve and foiu"- 
teen large and finely e(|uip]ied chtirch build- 
ings, riie Catholic cliurch is ])ro])ortion- 
atel}' strong, and is represented b\" man\ 
church buildings and fmeh" e(|ui])]>ed 
schools. One of the most beneficial and 
practical religions institutions in the cit\- is 
the "Institutional l'lnn"cli,"' and an_oiher of 
a similar kind is known ;is the "Educational 
lUiiUling" of the L'nited Jewish Charities." 
A feature of the strong religioits and ]ihil- 
anthrojiical character of our citizenshi]i was 
the building of a $300,000 ^". M. C. A. home, 
which is just about fuiished. Also recentlv 
there was $250,000 subscribed for the jtur- 
]"iose of building" a home for the ^'. W". C. 
A., so you see the limit has not )et been 
reached. 

Kansas Citv uncpiestionablv stands to- 
day as the best living" example of what can 
be accomplished throtigh the ]niblic s]iirit 
of its citizens. \\'e are justly jiroud of our 
achievements, and should be glad we have 
devoted the energy, time and money in ex- 
ploiting" our natural advantages and making" 
known to the world through the proper 
publicity the wonderful city we have here. 
The wisdom, pluck and ]ierseverance of the 
pioneers of Kansas City laid deep and 
broad the fotmdations of our present suc- 
cess. Tt has been well said that the physical 
conditions that surround a city often deter- 
mine its greatness. This, in a sense, is true, 
but Kansas L'ity possesses another advan- 
tage: that is, the kind of men and women 
who builded safe and sound while they were 
building, which is evidenced by our repu- 
tation for beautv and stabilitv.

STANDARD TELEPHONE 

SERVICE 

C. I*\^r almost every article in common use, each man 
recojrnizes as standard, a make or brand of known merit, 
by which he measures the quality of all other commodities 
of the same kind. Jt is a note-worthy fact that in tele- 
phone service there is one universally recognized standard, 
which is accepted in all localities, frr^n C(jast to coast and 
from Canada to the Ciulf. 

WHY BELL TELEPHONE SERVICE 
IS THE UNIVERSAL STANDARD 

C. Universality is the first requisite of satisfactory telephone 
service. The service must, as nearly as is practicable, reach 
everybody, everywhere. In this respect all other tele- 
phone companies combined do not even approach the 
Bell system, with its exclusive development in the most 
miportant cities and with 4,500,000 subscribers scattered 
o\er the entire country, yet within talking distance of 
each other o\er Bell lines. 

^Efficiency of Bell service is the result cjf using standard 
equipment throughout and the employment of uniform

CAKE SOAP SUPERSEDED 

Why do you use soap? To remove dirt, of course; but the man who used the 
cake soap before you probably had more dirt than you, and you acquire his dirt in 
trying to discard your own. 

The Liquid Soap Dispenser 

Has estabhshed a new era of cleanliness in giving you the soap that no human hand 
has touched. 

The Beau Brummel Liquid Soap 

Is made from pure vegetable oils, that provide a pleasing, health -giving exhilaration to 
the most sensitive skin. One soap dispenser and one gallon of soap, S5.00. 

The Taussig Automatic Disinfector 

Provides the only scientific and sanitary means of destroying impurities arising from the 
odors of toilets, etc Needs no attention beyond refilling once a month. The fluids 
are economical and effective 

We supply the Baltimore Hotel, Kansas City, the Connor Hotel, Joplin, Mo 
and all the leading hotels in the country with disinfectants. 

All our goods are guaranteed and bear the endorsement of many Boards of Health, 
the medical profession and public institutions.

The ice machine and refrigerating equipment in the Baltimore Hotel 
was built and installed by us. We have built to date, upward of 1,500 
machines. A goodly number of these are now furnishing refrigeration for 
high class hotels and restaurants. The rest of the 1,500 are used in cream- 
eries, dairies, cold storage houses, ice factories, packing houses, meat 
markets, department stores and other places where mechanical refrigeration 
is much better and cheaper than natural ice. 

There's a handsome catalog describing our line that we want to send
